forms together. The first selection of either the Feed Forms or the Printer 1

Feed Page

pushbutton does the following:

This prints a solid alignment mark after the leading edge on a page in

Printer 1, which is designated as an alignment page.
A one-bar or two-bar pattern is also printed on the alignment page. The

bar shows whether Side 1 or Side 2 of the form is being printed on Printer

1.
This prints a dashed alignment mark after the leading edge of the page.

b.

Feeds a fixed length of forms through Printer 1. This is either the length

set in the Form Feed Length printer configuration item if you select the

Feed Forms

pushbutton or the length of one page according the page

length definition for the Form Name currently loaded if you select the

Printer 1 Feed Page

pushbutton.
